1421: The Year China Discovered America by Gavin Menzies
2.0
At 1009 reviews that all basically say the same thing, there isn't much I could really add. This book really wasn't great, or particularly enjoyable, or even good historically (both in terms of method and narrative).
But honestly, the most disappointing thing, is that this book should have been cool. It should have been an interesting and insightful argument that would have had really important implications for human expansion and exploration...but it just wasn't. Maybe a later, and better, book will be published if more evidence comes forward, but for now, yeah, this book just wasn't great or good or interesting.
